Default Re: Alien Life

Although Capnag comments are essentiually corect, it takes leap of faith to suggest that we or aliieans in same position will enjoy similar progress in future. After all, it is 30 years since we get to the Moon and to my best knowledge, there've been no major progress in human expansion beyound our Homeworld. And somehow I really doubt that it will ever occur - it is just too costly and has no direct financial and political (like reelection in 4 years) benefits. It is entirely possible that we reaching new sort of technological plateu.
I have no doubt about immense future progress in computer scince and biotecnology but it will only keep us ancored to Earth, ever more dump and playing computer games of galactic conquest instead of actually sucrifice excesses of our hedonistic life in order to actually do it !
